Littorina irrorate (common name marsh periwinkle snails) perform a vertical migration on Spartina alterniflora (salt marsh cordgrass) during high tides. This could be a result in trying to avoid predators such as Callinectes sapidus (common name blue crab). Field studies have shown that the result of climbing up vegetation provides protection from predators. The comparison that is to be made, is the Littorina irrorates response to the presence of the Callinectes sapidus pheromones by vertical

produce trehalose, described in depth as a, “special protective sugar that forms a gel-like medium that suspends and perseveres the organelles and membranes that make up the animal’s cells.” (Bradford) To simplify, trehalose wraps around the remaining water molecules in the body, to prevent evaporation in a sporadic temperature increase, and further preserve the Tardigrade. Some theorize this technique of survival was only acquired by some Tardigrades. But due to their unbelievably small size, the sugar

the wildfire and its location, the loss of life and amount of property damage can be catastrophic. Potential losses from wildfire include human live; structures and other improvements; natural and cultural resources, the quality and quantity of the water supply; range and crop lands, and economic losses (tourism, fire suppression expenditures, etc). Smoke and air pollution from wildfires can be a sever health hazard. Other secondary

Why are small streams so valuable to an ecosystem and to people? I chose this research question in order to explain the importance of the data from my project. To do this, I interviewed Chad Schwinnen and Ali Laughbaum. Both are environmental science teachers at New Albany High School. Schwinnen has his bachelors of science in biology from Ohio State University and his masters of science in biology from Wright State. He has been teaching for nine years and he has taught classes like biology, senior

Does the Ocean need more help than our people? Well the Ocean has more damage done to it, that it isn’t the same wonderful, heartwarming, wedding crying Ocean anymore. Humans done so much to it, that it is worn down, and the Ocean can’t handle it anymore. According to Ocean Geography Society “We should keep the Ocean alive by not killing the Coral Reefs, and rare fish, or any fish at all, and bring back the past of the wonderful, clean, and mysterious

above the high tide line. This insecurity is concentrated in Charleston and Beaufort Counties, accounting for ~$24 billion in property value and 54,000 homes.[1] If these predictions hold true, one in six homes in the City of Charleston will be under water. To preserve our dreams for the future of our city three main contributing issues must be considered: the rise of global sea level, the sinking of the peninsula, and flooding in the river delta.

following questions: “Does increased energy in the atmosphere always lead to an increase in temperature? Why or why not?” In order to accurately answer these questions it was very important to use identical cups, each filled with the same total mass of water (both liquid and ice). This was because we needed many constant variables so that we could be sure that it was the presence, or lack thereof, of added thermal energy that was changing the heat of the samples and not something else. It was also important

discovery are infinite. The presence of water suggests that life may be possible on Ganymede, which helps the search for habitable environments along. The discovery was made using the Hubble Space Telescope which observed the oscillations of Ganymede's aurorae in the ultraviolet spectrum, thus supplying pertinent information regarding the magnetosphere of Ganymede. Due to the numerous similarities between Ganymede and Europa, it may be possible that Europa also has water present or even an underground ocean

color and odor in washing water residue and salmon bone. Whereas, extraction condition methods was analysed by observing salmon bone soup (the liquid after separated with salmon bone). The parameter of extraction condition was included color, odor, and taste. Soup was served to 2 panelist at 40°C and analysed by hedonic test. E. Extraction Methods Salmon bone after thawed one night was cut into 1-2 cm. After applied pretreatment with washed salmon bone using cold water 3 times at ratio 1:3 (w/v)
